Another Power Ranger Goes Down in Flames...

While cooking supper tonight, I was entertained as I eavesdropped on my two youngest children, engrossed in a world of their own in the adjoining family room.

Rayna, as is her custom was admonishing Doug first about one thing and then another. It seems her brother made the mistake of calling her "Rayna"...in a rather high-brow tone I heard her correct him, telling him that actually her name was "Eliz-a-beth!". So, he agreeably amended his sentence and this time called her "Eliz-a-beth", but, by then she had again changed her mind and imperiously informed him that ACTUALLY her name was "AMANDA!" Patiently, Doug began once more, this time addressing her as "Amanda". I was chopping potatoes and the rest of his part of the conversation was drowned out until I heard Rayna's voice cutting through with disdain, informing him, "I CAN'T MARRY YOU, DOUG! You're my BROTHER...and that would be...AWKWARD. Besides, you're a POWER RANGER and I am a PRINCESS. I don't WANT to marry a POWER RANGER!" I could just imagine the toss of her head that must have accompanied her pronouncement.

I HAD to sneak in and look at the scene at that point, and this is what I found...



Sure enough...it IS just like Rayna said...he's a Power Ranger and she is a Princess, so, of course it would NEVER, EVER work out!
